More quotes by Mark Zuckerberg
I personally don't invest in a lot of companies because I think it would be a conflict of interest and Facebook doesn't typically either.
Mark Zuckerberg
I think there's confusion around what the point of social networks is. A lot of different companies characterized as social networks have different goals - some serve the function of business networking, some are media portals. What we're trying to do is just make it really efficient for people to communicate, get information and share information.
Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook is uniquely positioned to answer questions that people have, like, what sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York lately and liked? These are queries you could potentially do with Facebook that you couldn't do with anything else, we just have to do it.
Mark Zuckerberg
People wait until late in their career to give back. But why wait when there is so much to be done?
Mark Zuckerberg
I mean, we've built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it's really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that's what's so amazing about the scale that it's at today.
Mark Zuckerberg
We have a pretty ambitious goal for the world. What we think will make the Web better. What we think will make all these businesses that integrate with us run more effectively. I think if we stay focused on doing that, that's really the main thing that we need to do.
Mark Zuckerberg
Of course the Silicon Valley is unique and Berlin is not yet comparable. But of all the different cities that are building a startup infrastructure, Berlin is the one with the most similar energy.
Mark Zuckerberg
Berlin is one of my favorite cities in the world. I feel like the energy is very youthful. It has such an important history, including its recent history of unification.
Mark Zuckerberg
I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.
Mark Zuckerberg
The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook is inherently viral. There are lots of sites that include a contact importer, and for lots of them it doesn't really make sense. For Facebook it fits so well. It wasn't until a few years in that we started building some tools that made it easier to import friends to the site. That was a huge thing that spiked growth.
Mark Zuckerberg
I updated my grilling app, iGrill, today and it now has Facebook integration that lets you see what other people are grilling right now around the world. Awesome.
Mark Zuckerberg
We are working hard to build a service that everyone, everywhere can use, whether they are a person, a company, a president or an organisation working for change
Mark Zuckerberg
Don't discount yourself, no matter what you're doing. Everyone has a unique perspective that they can bring to the world.
Mark Zuckerberg
Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.
Mark Zuckerberg
People don't care about what someone says about you in a movie--or even what you say, right? They care about what you build.
Mark Zuckerberg
If Facebook were a country, it would be the 8th most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan.
Mark Zuckerberg
Google, I think, in some ways, is more competitive and certainly is trying to build their own little version of Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg
Just because you can build a machine that is better than a person at something doesn't mean that it is going to have the ability to learn new domains or connect different types of information or context to do superhuman things. This is critically important to appreciate.
Mark Zuckerberg
We look for people who are passionate about something. In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re passionate about. What we really look for when we’re interviewing people is what they’ve shown an initiative to do on their own.
Mark Zuckerberg
